	A Slav Nation in Germany - The Sorbs and their Organisations
		The Domowina was founded on 13 October 1912 in Hoyerswerda as the umbrella organisation of Sorbian societies and associations.
		The Domowina is committed to working to maintain and develop the Lusatian economic area as well as to marketing it as a tourist area stretching from the Lusatian hills, through Central Lusatia with its chain of lakes created from areas excavated by lignite mining, and extending as far as the Spreewald in the north.
		One aim of the Domowina for the future is to achieve a revision, based on the financial level of the year 1998, of the Financing Agreement, which would secure a future level of funding at the same rate, together with index-linking for inflation.

	Lusatian_State
		"Domowina", national Sorbian organisation, was the first antifascist organisation to be revived in Lusatia (10 May 1945).
		Since then Domowina focused on cultural and educational activities, whereas LSNW and Lusatian National Council remained political representatives of the nation.
		To prove that, German communists presented political programmes that seemed to be democratic and liberal, but in the matter of fact were misleading and only masqued their true intentions of gaining full power.

	Euromosaic - Sorbian in Germany
		In recent times the objective of the official national organisation Domowina has been to promote Sorbian language and culture and to anchor it firmly in the national consciousness, whereas rather vague ideological objectives predominated between 1947 and 1989.
		Domowina (the umbrella association for the Sorbs and Sorbian associations), sponsored by the regional authorities, organises cultural events and activities, for example.
		In church ceremonies the family is free to choose the language, although Sorbian is usually used in the Catholic focal area (for instance Sorbian wedding ceremony, traditional Catholic Sorbian dress and traditional Sorbian wedding breakfast).

		In December 1998, thirteen Horno citizens file suit together with the DOMOWINA against the federal Republic of Germany with the European Court for Human Rights in Strasbourg.
		Grießen maintains, on the one hand, that the Government's decree violates its communal autonomy, robbing the municipality of 80 percent of its territory, and on the other hand, that the democratic legitimization of the State Brown-Coal Committee is inadequate.
		The Court confirms a serious violation of the rights of the people concerned, rejects, however, the claim that their human rights have been violated, accepting the Federal Government's argument that the destruction of Horno was for the common good of the State of Brandenburg.
